Born to Run

Jake and I went for a walk/run (with Burke, too!) yesterday, as it was a gorgeous, 65-degree day (although you can't really tell from the pic, but it was, despite the remaining snowbanks). I was absolutely struck by how much joy he took in running, how natural his gait was, how beautiful and effortless his motion. It's something I want to foster and cultivate in him, this love of running - perhaps he got it from me.

We'll be running a 5K to raise money for autism on May 22nd. Me, Jake, our daughter, my husband - all of us. If you want to sponsor us, feel free to use the Paypal donation link in the upper right-hand corner of the blog. I am hoping to have Jake train with me for it. His 5th grade class is also going to be participating. My daughter's 7th grade class organized the run. It's their community service project for the year.
